3.75

I am not a huge fantasy person, so this book was certainly a departure from what I usually like to read. It took me awhile to get into it and to understand the world-building, but once I got into it, I enjoyed it!
I particularly enjoyed the middle of the book, which does a nice job of illustrating the intricacies of the landscape and the magic that happens there.
I am giving this book a 3.75 because I really disliked the ending! 

It felt like the last 50 pages were forced and resolved all of the tension so quickly! I felt like the Adaira-is-actually-from-the-West plotline came out of nowhere, and it felt like the author wanted to TELL the reader rather than SHOW the reader. I also thought it was strange that Adaira leaves without Jack. I felt like we lost a lot of the beautiful, unspoken parts at the end.

Wow wow wow. Killer. I’m so grateful I came across this book because of an instagram post by another favorite author. Truly fantastical and enthralling. I’ll sing this book’s praises all year. Reads like this give new weight to a five star read.
